Imperial Leisure
Imperial Leisure are an energy ball, they’re a ten-piece energy ball playing their own particular blend of cutting hip-hop fused with cool old school London ska and beats and bites and riffs. They come complete with a live brass section, keyboards, DJ, two MCs and a cool as you like singer. Seems they’ve been together since their North London secondary school days, and in some cases, the bonds go way back to primary school.
Their sound is a nailed-down combination of hip-hop beats, tunes, street-wise lyrics, punk attitude and just the right amount of infectious soul. There’s a sense of unity and familiarity that comes from their years of friendship and hanging out together.
Based in their own rehearsal/recording studio in Tottenham, they work together and party together, they claim to put equal amounts of energy into both which comes across in their awesome live show.
